The following supreme court decision
was handed down Friday by Judge
Mitchell:
Edwin r. Holcombe, appellant, VS.,
Ellen B. Richards and Charles Richards,
respondents. Syllabus: Where q mort
gage of lands in the State, given to Sc
cure debt due to the mortgage resid-
ing in another State, contained power
to the mortgage, his executors, admin
istrators or assigns in case of default OF
the conditions of the mortgage, to sell
and convey the premises according to
the statute in such case made and pro-
vided, the power of sale might be exer-
cised by the administrator appointed by
the probate court in the State where the
mortgage resided, even prior to the en-
actmept OF Chapter Il, General Laws
1876 (Gen. Stat. 1878, chap. 81, sec. 25).
The exercise of such power rested upon
the convention of the parties, as ex.
pressed in the mortgage, and not upon
the authority of the probate court of the
other State. The statute referred to was
not grant of authority, but mere reg.
nlation as to the manner of its exercise
A delivery of a deed to the real benefici.
airy of the grant or the person to whose
benefit it will inure is good without any
delivery to the person named as grantee
IN the deed. Hence when a deed to A
will inure to B by reason of covenants
Of title or particular recitals in a former
deed from A to B of the same premises
the delivery to B of curative deed run
ming to A as grantee will be good with
out any delivery to A. Order affirmed

One short block from the Plaza di

square in front of the grand cathedral
of Havana. In all the streets through
which we had heretofore passed, the
sidewalks were so narrow that two peo-
pie could not walk abreast, but here,
before the church, they we're wide and
completely thronged with devotees
seeking their shrine to worship. We
paused to view the scene and the faces
of the passers-by; old and young, rich
and poor, oil mingled in one company;
carriage after carriage rolled up to the
broad stone steps and deposited its
freight: ladies richly dressed in the
witching Spanish costume, short skirts,
scarce long enough to conceal the
arched instep and well-rounded ankle,
the long sweeping veil Of black lace,
which forms the only head covering
of ladies of quality, and the fan-the
inseparable fan. Shoes and stockings
would be dispensed with before the fan.
All were hurrying through the open
portals of this temple of Worship

The Spread of Measles.

DIR. James b. Taylor, Chief of the
Bureau of Contagious Diseases of New
York, says that the alarming spread of
the measles is due to a widespread be-
lief among parents that measles are
harmless, and that it is better for their
children to have the measles when they
are young Holding this theory, the
Doctor says parents do not make any
efforts when one of their children is at
tackled with the disease to isolate the
child, but permit the others to go near
and probably sleep with it. In this
way the other children not only con-
tract the disease themselves, but carry
it to school or among their mates and
thus give it to others. The great
danger to be feared from measles in
cold weather, the Doctor says, is that
it may lead to bronchitis or pneumonia
and thus prove fatal.
